Today, I posted a "Wishlist" item to have the ability to define (possibly in CONFIG) the ability to add/subtract some time to/from the times in the program guide. I want to do this because the technicians that maintain the cable service for my complex (by an exclusive contract) are incompetent and occasionally point the satellite receivers to the wrong feed so show listings end up being three hours off because they point at an East Coast feed rather than a West Coast feed like they are supposed to.
It occurred to me that if I were to go into the xml file before Ultra runs, I could have a program I write for myself do the manipulation of the start and end times of the programs in the xml files.
Is there a way I can schedule my own program to run before Ultra does each day?
Do you see any problems I would introduce by doing this?
I've had to turn on 3 digit since it seemed to ignore the first digit. It seems to work ok after a while, but the first couple of times it gets it horribly wrong.
Anyone got this combination of stuff....I'm guessing not as the usb-uirt is pretty obscure over here.
I realize that this request is unique and 99.999% of the users would have no need for it.
My local cable provider is incompetent. I am not just talking about the normal grumbling about cable tv service. These people are world class incompetent.
They provide cable television service to our complex (through an exclusive contract) by a bunch of Dish Network receivers at a head end on our site and then pass the signal on to us. It is not unusual for them to set a receiver to the wrong satellite feed for a channel, e.g. point to the East Coast U.S. feed when they are supposed to pick up the West Coast feed. This ends up making the listings off by three hours and useless for scheduling recordings. During these times I have to use manual recording but besides the inconvenience, this method also loses all the program description.
The solution is not to wait until Schedule Direct has its own ability to fix lineups because these interruptions are temporary but could last weeks until the jokers who maintain the system fix their mistakes.
If I could set a unique offset in CONFIG for each individual channel then I could compensate for the problem until it goes away.
I recently added a NAS to my network in hopes of creating a gigantic movie vault. I have close to 500 movies that used to exist on the GB-PVR local hard drive...they are now on the NAS. Is there a "quick" way to change the file location to point at the new location of the movies? From what I can tell, the only solution is to re-import all the titles (which would take forever).
I'm assuming the db3 file is dBaseIII? I tried to open the database with various program, using ODBC, but I cannot. Can you recommend a db program that will allow me to edit the db3 filemyself?
Contemplating switching system, not very rich, but wanna get rid of aging e6600 (dualcore 2.4GHz). My everyday usage consists mainly of chatting and browsing the net, but I do play games and enjoy watching HD movies, and even encoding SD and HD rips.
The games I play pretty much only use 1 core, but I guess with time, more and more will finally use the full potential of multicore processors. As for encoding, a SD rip of 640x480 of 2 hours long, dualpass x264, takes me just over 2 hours to encode. Encoding in xvid or x264 uses all cores, so that's good.
Since I'm not a rich dude, and want to be able to do *at least* what I'm doing now, and more, I'm wondering which cpu to buy. For singlecore applications, the 3GHz seems great for the buck (wouldn't have to change my mobo), but encoding wise the quadcore, even though slower on ONE core, seems a much better investment (although I would have to buy a new mobo).
So, I get a lot of problems when my ATSC signal is not coming in well. Timeline mishaps, where the timeline gets completely screwed up and shows that the program I'm watching is 23 hours long, and FF stops working well, etc. I've cut a chunk out of a program that start with the timeline comppletely off. Ie, -560000 hours. I can't seem to upload it though. It's 5MB...
I've also got and epidsode of the simpsons that has a glitch in the middle. That glitch throws the whole timeline off. What I don't get though, is that MS Media Player just goes right through the glitch. It doesn't even pixillate.
GSpot tells me that for that file, I'm using the following:
(Src) ->> Cyberlink Demux (PDVD7) -> DScaler Mpeg2 Video Decoder -> Video Renderer
(Src) ->> Cyberlink Demux (PDVD7) -> MPA Decoder Filter -> Default DirectSound Device.
I've tried putting Dscaler and MPA as my Video and Audio filters, but PVRX2 still can't get past the glith without issues. I don't understand where the Demux comes into play, nor how I can set PXVR2 to use that instead. Also, I'm assuming that what GSpot tells me is what PVRX2 uses as "system Default," am I wrong about that? Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Generally what I am using iin PXVR2 is as follows:
Video Decoder: CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7) version 8.2.926
Audio Decoder: CyberLink Audio Decoder version 6.01.5803
Audio Renderer: CyberLink Audio Renderer (PDVD7.x) version 6.00.5222
I've been using gb-pvr for a long, it's a great programm! I've just installed the newest gb-pvr-software on my new computer but cannot connect it with my MVP! Hauppauge's MVP-Software works perfectly (finds the server), but GB-PVR doesnt!
With the gb-pvr-software, the MVP-Client cannot find a "streaming server" (screen: no streaming server found - press <OK> to rescan, i did that several times). i've set the "number of servers to autostart" in the gb-pvr-config to "1". Windows-firewall-settings should be fine (gb-pvr is excepted from the firewall) and hauppauge-mvp-software isn't runnign anymore.
Can anyone help me please to connect the mvp-client with the gb-pvr software? why can't it find the gb-pvr-server, but the hauppauge-mvp-server?
I'm about to buy a new motherboard, and found this one interesting:
Gigabyte GA-EG43M-S2H
It has an HDMI connector in the back (mobo comes with inboard video), but everywhere I look they don't specifically say how it's to be used. Asked some friends, they told me HDMI signal can go both ways so, I ask... can I capture HDMI feed with this?
(would be simple to unplug tv and plug pvr right into computer...)
Hi I have updated my older version of gbvr. I am able to watch my old recordings but I cannot now watch tv (or record anything new.) When I go to the tv guide I click on a program and click watch - the screen goes blank and then just reverts to the tv guide again.
Hauppauge Nova HD satellite card running under Vista.
I have set up ir.exe in the remote config screen and pressed the fix 48 button etc , rebooted PC but remote fails to work on Live TV or replaying recordings.
